Well, I love being country. I have even been referred to as a “Bible thumping, gun toting redneck” but let me tell you growing up on a farm or ranch isn’t something to be ashamed of. This wasn’t always my mind-set though, it wasn’t always “cool” to be country. When others were sporting Adidas or Pumas I was walking around in my Ariats. For a while I was ashamed, and then my grandpa told me something that impacted me greatly. He said, “A country person could live in the city and be fine; but a city person could never come to the country and do what we do everyday. That’s something to be proud of.” From then on I wore my Ariats proudly and on my wedding day I decided to make a statement about who I am as a person. I wore my boots underneath my dress (and showed them off many times!) This one of my favorite wedding pictures!

Snakes In The Car Lot
By Michelle Chatel, PA, posted June 12th, 2009
When I was younger my car was totaled in a car accident which was not my fault. I went out that weekend looking to buy a new car. I spent all weekend, going from from dealership to the next but no one would make me a deal on a used car. I was a single mother at the time and that was all I could afford. I told each one, that whoever made me the best deal would get my business. No one wanted to deal for a price I could afford. As I leaving one of the offices and walking through the car lot a salesman stopped me. He asked what the problems was and I told him, then he said, “Nice boots.” I said, “Thanks, my boyfriend bought them for me,” and I said goodbye. Later that night when I returned home I found a message on my answering machine from that very same dealership. They stated they have reconsidered and would make me a deal after all. I thought to myself, so that’s why they didn’t want to deal. They thought if I could afford to walk around in a pair of pricey snakeskin boots, that I could afford to pay more for a car. Well, I think they’re all snakes. I spent the next weekend shopping for a car in a pair of old sneakers and finally made a deal on a car.
No More Boots
By David Gray, Lakewood, California, posted June 10th, 2009
It was about fifteen years ago when we got married. One day my wifes brother stops by the house and gives my wife a pair of boots. Says here, take these , I got them for David.
They were nice boots, made in Mexico sort of a blackish wine color. No cushion and not real comfortable. But I had boots, my first pair of boots. So time went on and I didn’t wear them that much and one day the wife says to me,”where’s your boots, I havent seen them? I didnt know. They disappeared. The only thing that I can thing of ths that I left them on the porch and somebody came buy and took them. Now I have No More Boots.
